Christopher is dead he was replaced by Kismet.
Mary has died as well?

Out of curiosity where did you get that list from?
 
Christopher, Biffa, Grace and Mary have died within the last two years, the latter three being the oldest in the herd. Three giraffes went to Folly Farm a few months ago, and the group is down to seven; a breeding bull, three cows, two adolescents and a calf born last month.
 
Christa (f) and Tia (f) were both born in 2008 at Marwell. Tia is the last offspring of Mary. Both calf's were sired by Christopher before he died. 1 male calf has been born this year. His name is Kwame.
 
The 5 males that moved to Folly Farm were....

Jaja-Hybrid male
Kharma-Hybrid male
Zulu-Hybrid male
Taharqa-Hybrid male
Riziki-Hybrid male

All were born at Marwell. Jaja and Kharma have both recently died.
 
So need help, hopfully the right place to ask for.
Who can send me photos of Jaja and Taharqa!
Got photos from the net of both but not 100% sure
who is who. So it would help if someone got photos
of them.

I know it's nearly a year on but I can give you photos of taharqa ?
 
Rather than clog the current thread with pointless info i thought id ask here.

While searching for something else (Marwell related) I came across an interesting piece in an article from Heart radio about giraffe calf Olympia's birth. The radio could have just got it wrong but they stated that Olympia was Isabella's 3rd calf, I thought she only had 2 Kwame (2009) & Olympia (2012)? Did she lose one in between? Just asking as it's peaked my curiosity

In a Marwell news mag for 2012 it talks about Olympia as Isabellas third calf but does not mention the other two.

Cheers @okapis, Isabella must have lost a calf in between then. I'd just never heard anything mentioned prior so just presumed she only had 2 pregnancies.
